Captain Severance: Look, I've had to make a few other changes. I'm promoting you, to platoon sergeant. Mike Strank: Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. Captain Severance: You bet. Mike Strank: The trouble is, I already told my men I'd see them through this. Captain Severance: That your James Cagney impersonation? 'Cause I've heard better. Mike Strank: Well, I'll keep practicing, then. Captain Severance: Look, this isn't your first time through this. You don't need to prove anything. Mike Strank: No, sir. Captain Severance: You're not the *best* sergeant I've ever had, just the best one that's still walking. Block's a good man. Mike Strank: Yes, sir, he is. Captain Severance: The men know him, he can step right in. You know, I have actually thought this through. Platoon sergeant puts you further away from the bullets. Mike Strank: I already gave them my word, sir. I told them I'd bring them all home to their mothers, which means I already lied to half of them. Can't lie to the rest.
